-Alternative Controller for HHKB pro
-===================================
-I want to add vi cursor and mouse keys to HHKB. Original HHKB controller is not programmable and
-firmware source code is not open. So, customizing HHKB needs to replace original controller with programmable one.
-I used Teensy++ as alternative controller. Though a Teensy has enough ports to drive HHKB,
-Teensy++ has clean pinout and it makes programing and wiring easier.
+Internal of HHKB pro
+=====================
+HHKB pro has MCU and some chips on separate two PCBs.
-This is just a proof of concept for replacing controller of HHKB, not a complete firmware.
-
-My prototype firmware source tree is here:
- github(http://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard)
-This firmware is a port of my previous project:
- HHKB style Mod(http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Island:11930)
-PJRC:
- Teensy++/Teensy(http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/)
-
-
-Pros:
- * without pattern cutting, case mod and soldering
- * can keep original controller intact
- * can change HHKB behaviour as you like(by C programming)
-
-Cons:
- * void your warranty
- * unavailability of Teensy++/Teensy(because of PS3 cracking boom?)
-
-Features:
- * customized keymap
- * more keymap layers
- * mouse keys for minimum mouse operation(never comfortable for normal use)
- * and more...(in the future)
-
-Any suggestions or ideas are welcome.
-
-
-NOTE:
- My HHKB is just "Professional". This means followings may not be applied to "Professional2".
-
-DISCLAIMER:
- I'm not a professional for electronics and MCU programming. This may damage your HHKB.
- And my English writing is poor, I'm not sure I can convey my notions accurately.

-Teensy++ installation
----------------------
-Angled USB mini B adapter is used to install Teensy++ laterally.
-(teensy_install.jpg)
-
-Bread baord wires are used to connect Teensy++.

While pressing space bar, watched HHKB original controller signals by logic analyzer.
Row and column is looping between 0-7 each for selecting a key.
A key is scaned every about 15ms, so scan rate is 66Hz.
